Royale

Whether or not Frenchie descends directly from the monarchy is irrelevant. His regal airs lie in his pure breed attitude, his "don’t stand-in-my-way" strut and his round eyes that shine like gems on a crown. His majestic dignity and kingly authority are irresistible, as much of his adoring public already knows.

The grapes of this prestigious blend come from seven vineyards throughout Napa Valley. The Syrah was harvested from a vineyard in Conn Valley while the Merlot is from Rutherford and adds the powerful tannins to the wine. The Petit Verdot was harvested from a vineyard in northern Napa Valley which provides the mid-palate texture and the Cabernet Sauvignon is from two vineyards in St. Helena. The Petite Sirah and Malbec are from our estate vineyard in Rutherford and provide bold tannins and more fleshiness to the wine respectively.
